We love Somerset and decided on this place because it’s so central to spots like Wells, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonburyand Haynes Museum. After browsing loads of options, Shepherds Lodge really stood out - and we’re so glad! It’s spotless, beautifully decoratedand in a peaceful setting surrounded by fields. The host was lovelyand the hot tub was a real treat after busy days exploring. Would definitely stay here again - it’s the perfect hideaway! Highly recommend.

Wow, what a lovely spot! The lodge was spotless and really well looked after, with plenty of towels provided. We felt super welcomed with the nice little pack they left. Say hi to Dolly and Dotty, Dan’s sheep - they’re quite the characters, loving all your scraps! The beds were comfy, so we had a really good sleep. There’s an Asda and Sainsbury’s just 15 minutes awayand Wookey Hole Caves is only half an hour. Western Super Mare’s nearby too. Dan suggested West Bayand it’s gorgeous. We’d definitely come back for more peaceful days here.

The Lodge was really comfortable and the equipment was excellent. It's in a great spot for nature reserves. The neighbours, the sheep, were quietly munching away in the next field. They were also hiding from the heat of the sun!

This is a great property! The view was just spectacularand the sunsets along with the night sky were amazing. It's an easy stroll to the pub, but you definitely burn it off walking back up that hill! The location is super convenient for the nature reserves, shopping in Streetand visiting Glastonbury and Wells. Plus, we really enjoyed making friends with the sheep.
